Multicriteria Choice of Night Vision Devices Considering the Impact of Their Performance Parameters

چکیده
The problem of technical devices evaluation and choosing is not easy decision making process. The technological development and the availability of many different technical solutions with different performance parameters specify complex combinatorial choice problems. The night vision devices (NVD) have become quite popular recently and are an example of complex technical choice with conflicting performance parameters. The paper describes important NVD parameters that should be considered and a multicriteria optimization approach for smart NVD choice. The proposed approach uses popular weighted sum method to comply with different user preferences by defining relative weights among NVD parameters considered as objective functions. The practical applicability of the proposed approach has been demonstrated by some case study examples of choosing night vision goggles satisfying different user preferences. Real set of devices offered on Internet are used to formulate and solve optimization tasks reflecting user’s preferences. The proposed multicriteria choice approach can be used for all types of night vision devices and other technical devices also to make a smart choice corresponding to decision-makers preferences and restrictions.
